Lower Extremity Flashcards
(76 cards)
LCL (fibular collateral ligament), MCL (tibial collateral ligament)

muscles of the foot (1st layer - most superficial)
origen: calcaneous
- abductor hallucis, i: base of proximal phalanx of big toe, flexes/abducts big toe, braces medial longitudinal arch
- flexor digitorum brevis, i: tendons to 4 lateral toes (middle phalanx), flexes lateral 4 toes, braces medial and lateral longitudinal arch
- abductor digiti minimi, i: proximal phalanx of fifth toe, flexes and abducts fifth toe, braces lateral longitudinal arch

ligament of head of the femur
aka ligamentum teres

flexor digitorum (longus)

common fibular nerve
aka peroneal nerve

bones of the foot

deltoid ligament at ankle

tensor fascia lata

tibial nerve - posterior
tibial nerve, vein, artery from lateral to medial

lateral ligament at ankle

femoral artery, popliteal artery, anterior tibial artery, posterior tibial artery

plantar fascia

muscles of the foot (3rd layer - second deepest)
- flexor hallucis brevis, o: cuboid, lateral cuniform i: lateral and medial side of base of proximal pahalnx of big toe, a: flexes big toe, supports medial lognitudinal arch
- adductor hallucis, o: base of 2-4 metatarsals (oblique head), plantar ligaments (lateral head), i: lateral side of base of proximal phalynx of big toe, a: flexes bid toe and holds together metatarsals
- flexor digiti minimi brevis, o: base of 5th metatarsal, i: lateral side of base of proximal phalynx of little toe, a: flexes little toe

tibia
